Sandbag Walking Lunge
Walking lunges with a crescent sandbag draped across the shoulders, its two ends held in front; the bag rests on the upper back, not on the neck.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, the bag curved around the back of the shoulders, a hand on each end in front.
Steps
- Lunge forward until the back knee nearly touches the floor.
- Keep the torso tall and the elbows under the bag's ends.
- Drive up and step straight through into the next lunge.
Common mistakes
Bag slipping onto the neck: settle it across the upper back and hold the ends firm. Leaning forward under the load: chest up, the trunk stays tall. Short choppy steps: stride long enough for both knees to reach about 90°.
Breathing
Inhale into the lunge, exhale driving through.
